If you're willing to drive an extra 15 minutes westbound, Cuckoo’s Nest in Old Saybrook is excellent! Voted by CT Magazine as best in the state several times.

(Re)reading Balzac’s Les Paysans ( Scènes de la vie de campagne ). In ch.iv he writes: "Dans la campagne le vin n’est que d’une seule qualité, mais il se vend sous deux espèces: le vin au tonneau, le vin bouché."...

and treat the rest of the house. Said it was the largest colony they’d ever seen. The following summer/fall we saw no more than the occasional wasp. So if you're still experiencing problems after hunting down and spraying...

I know that Veracruz re-opened. Do they not have the drinks anymore?

I’d try Williams Sonoma since you're in a bind time-wise. We received a large copper bowl with the stand as a gift, although I don’t know if they have nesting sets or whatever. Probably worth a call anyway.

Hey there, the newlyweds have emerged from their honeymoon nest . . . and they're eating calzone?!? (vbg) Sounds good, I can hear the “crunch”!

Mike, I am not aware of any coastal dog destinations. However, in your journeys you may want to check out The Red Hot at 2914 Sixth Avenue in Tacoma. They offer dozens of dog combinations along with draft beer. If you're just in...

Re: Golden China in Watsonville This is still one of my two favorite Chinese restaurants in Watsonville. BUT it’s nothing to leave your own towns for, only a good choice if you're looking for a decent...

Nick’s Nest dogs are just plain awful. The best dogs are at the snack bar in Look Park Northampton. Dogs grilled in butter with grilled buns. Just like the Howard Johnson’s hot dogs of yore. Just order a bag of chips...

I know this is late for a 5 September post request, but, try The Nest. Casual semi-continental food with a local food approach. If you're planning on weekend dining, call for rez (830) 990-8383. The approach is as local as you...
